Overview
Get ready for a unique, grassroots endurance test: San Diego Ultra Running Friends (SURF) invites runners to cover as many laps as possible over 6 or 12 hours on a sweet singletrack loop. Set in the foothills near Mt. Woodson, this race offers a rugged, fun, high-vert experience that rewards persistence and pacing as much as speed. The loop format means you’ll learn terrain, fine-tune strategy mid-race, and stay close to support.
Course
The course is a ~1.5-mile singletrack loop weaving through boulder fields, sagebrush, and remnants of an avocado orchard. Each lap packs over 300 feet of climbing, making every loop a punchy test. You’ll run the same loop for the duration of your race, passing by the aid station each time. Because the course is on private property (hosted on a residence), the location is not open to the public aside from race day.
Aid Station & Support
There is one aid station placed so that runners pass through it each lap. The aid station is well stocked with typical runner fare, including electrolyte drink and various snacks, and offers consistent access to hydration and nutrition.
Volunteers will assist with parking and bib pickup on race morning. Parking is available either on the driveway or along the road, guided by volunteers.
Make sure to stick around for all kinds of delicious picnic and grilled foods throughout the day, courtesy of Pat and Debbie Meskell. Bring your family along to hang out too!
Please note: there are no refunds, transfers, or deferrals for this event.
Runner Experience
Get ready for some vert! The climbing is consistent, so endurance and strength will matter throughout the day (or evening).
This is a community-driven event, celebrating the San Diego Ultra Running Friends (SURF) spirit with a relaxed and social atmosphere. Expect cheers, good times, post-run food, and even pickleball in the yard. Spectators and crew can easily support runners throughout the day, while taking in the expansive views from Mt Woodson all the way to the ocean
